A major public sector body is undergoing a massive ERP transformation and needs a heavyweight Workday Finance Lead to provide the technical authority and strategic direction for their Workday Financial Management platform. This isn't just about hands-on configuration; it's a high-profile, senior role sitting at the heart of a complex shared services environment, where you will shape solutions, steer senior stakeholders, and elevate the team's delivery capability. If you are looking for a role where you can move away from just closing tickets and instead take true ownership of a massive, business-critical system architecture, this is it.
What You'll Be Doing:
- You will act as the ultimate subject matter authority across the full Workday Financials suite (GL, AP, AR, Expenses, Assets, and Reporting).
- Providing technical assurance and peer-reviewing designs from third-party partners.
- Leading complex workshops to translate business needs into robust system blueprints.
- Mentoring a team of consultants and analysts.
- High-level solution design, release governance, and acting as the senior escalation point for complex issues that require deep architectural insight.
What We Need From You:
- Senior Workday Expertise: Significant experience configuring, implementing, or supporting Workday Financial Management at a senior or lead level.
- Technical Assurance and Leadership: A proven track record of overseeing system designs, managing ticket queues/SLAs, and supervising or coaching other consultants and analysts.
- Process Mastery: A deep, end-to-end understanding of finance operations inside massive, highly complex organisations.
- Senior Stakeholder Management: Exceptional communication skills with the ability to influence finance leaders, architects, and system integrators.
Nice to Have (But Not Essential):
- Experience navigating central government or large-scale public sector shared services.
- Exposure to legacy platforms like Oracle Suite or Fusion to support the transformation and data migration mindset.
- Strong knowledge of Workday reporting, analytics, or complex integrations.
